Nicole Richie put on her best bad girl face for the cover of the August issue of Nylon Magazine. She may be surrounded by pregnancy rumors [0], but she didn't go there in this interview. She dished about her fame, saying [1]:

"I don’t have a clue why I’m famous. I didn’t make myself famous…You’re doing it. I think people just want to say, ‘Oh, she doesn’t have a job she doesn’t do anything.’ They get off on that. But I do have a job, like everyone else.”

The media has definitely helped make Nicole Richie a household name, but Nicole makes it pretty easy by drawing attention to herself. Also, it sounds like BFFs Paris and Nicole think alike - Paris voiced almost the exact same complaint about her job just last night on Larry King [1].
